The terms vengeance and recompense mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Vengeance is mine]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לִ֤⁠י נָקָם֙ וְ⁠שִׁלֵּ֔ם

to=me vengeance (Some words not found in UHB: to=me vengeance and,retribution to,a_time_of slip foot_of,their that/for/because/then/when near day their_disaster_of,their and,it_will_make_haste doom to,them )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of vengeance and recompense, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [I am the one who will avenge and repay] or [I will punish and pay back]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠עֵ֖ת תָּמ֣וּט רַגְלָ֑⁠ם

Here the author is speaking of the time when their foot slips to mean a time when they would experience sudden calamity or failure. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when they suddenly fall into disaster] or [when calamity suddenly comes upon them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: to=me vengeance and,retribution to,a_time_of slip foot_of,their that/for/because/then/when near day their_disaster_of,their and,it_will_make_haste doom to,them )

See the discussion on parallelism in the introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [for the day of their disaster is near, yes, the things prepared for them hasten]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠חָ֖שׁ עֲתִדֹ֥ת לָֽ⁠מוֹ

and,it_will_make_haste doom to,them

Here the author is speaking of the things prepared for them as if they were living things that could hasten or move quickly toward them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and their doom is approaching rapidly]

(Some words not found in UHB: to=me vengeance and,retribution to,a_time_of slip foot_of,their that/for/because/then/when near day their_disaster_of,their and,it_will_make_haste doom to,them )

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. The word for gives the reason for the vengeance Yahweh described in verses 34–35. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [because]
